I'm sorry if this is a FAQ but I can't find an answer to my problem in
previous threads. I'm having trouble getting the meta key to work in
an xterm under Apple's X11b3. I have both "Follow system keyboard
layout" and "Enable key equivalents under X11" unchecked in my
preferences and the following ~/.xinitrc file:
> #!/bin/sh
> xmodmap <<EOF
>
> ! Enable the Meta key.
>
> clear mod1
> clear mod2
> add mod1 = Meta_L
>
> ! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L.
>
> remove Lock = Caps_Lock
> remove Control = Control_L
> keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
> keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
> add Lock = Caps_Lock
> add Control = Control_L
> EOF
>
> xrdb -merge -nocpp <<EOF
> XTerm*eightBitInput: true
> XTerm*eightBitOutput: true
> EOF
>
> xterm -sb -geometry 80x24+0+20 &
> quartz-wm
The caps_lock/control swapping works, but alt-x makes Emacs beep
rather than receive M-x. Any suggestions, anyone?
This is on an AlBook12 with UK keyboard under 10.2.5, if that makes a
difference.
TIA.
